longevity Apr 04, 2019

Since yesterday was my birthday, I thought it would be a good time to talk about longevity.

This is a topic I’ve been looking into a lot lately because my retreat in Costa Rica will take place in a “blue zone” - one of just a handful of places around the world where groups of people are living past 100.

And as I’ve come to understand the power and underutilized intelligence of the heart, I’ve started to learn how to do a better job at listening to my heart instead of my mind.
